Justice Lahoti is justified in saying that the government lacks will to fight terrorism. Increasing terrorist activities reflect ineffective governance. Following steps are suggested to fight terrorism.

Residents of the city must be registered under categories, such as born residents, migrants and floating persons. A mass movement by the citizens, involving the RWAs, NGOs and other social organisations, against terrorism must be initiated.

Crowded markets must be decongested and illegal structures demolished. Police must be strengthened and equipped with hi-tech gadgets. Public cooperation must be ensured and all religious places checked.
